    Burt's Bees managers thought they had fierce consumer loyalty. However, lacking of marketing department, they only judged by a little feedback from their sales representatives. By this way, Burt's Bees neither estimated the size of consumers nor measured the consum-ers' sensitiveness with changing. In communications, they thought a national product-demonstration tour can communicate the value proposition to consumers according to the sales, but they did not measure by the ratio of return over investment. Burt's Bees had over 30% sales through drug store and gift/specialty respectively, but they cannot forecast the demand of different products, and the "hives" faced the capacity problem with the growing products. Burt's Bees did not take price promotion, and these prices weren't set systematic-ally. Finally, the package of its products may cause confusion in awareness.…

These products have a moral backing to it and large box companies like Johnson and Johnson and L’Oreal who are acquiring companies such as Burt’s Bees at a very high base value have caught on this trend.

    Burt’s Bee’s is committed to providing the best products for its consumers by ensuring they are 100% natural and produced in environmentally friendly conditions. I believe it is possible for the company to become the “Starbucks of personal care” without foregoing the initial values established by Roxanne Quimby. Roxanne’s original vision was making Burt’s bees a big brand, not an exclusive brand, and so moving into the mass market sector is in-keeping with this idea. Arguably, moving away from a specialty and health product, to a mass market brand is risky and results in specialty stores pulling back and reducing shelf space.…

    1. Consumers look to price as an indication of quality and Burt’s Bees uses that to their advantage (A17). While their products are well differentiated simply by the ingredients list, Burt’s Bees marks up their products to create an even deeper sense of authenticity. It wasn’t until the Clorox acquisition that they even advertised such differences: “...Clorox immediately ran magazine ads comparing natural ingredients in Burt’s Bees to chemical ingredients found in other products” (A17). Burt’s Bees had previously accomplished that differentiation on price alone.…

Since the brand's start at a crafts fair selling $200 worth of honey, the company has since expanded to candles, lip balm and now more than 150 products. In 2009, revenue topped $250 million.
